6.) Puff Daddy featuring Jimmy Page - "Come With Me": For being perhaps the only battle rap in history directed towards a giant fictional lizard. Innovative! See also LL Cool J's "Deepest Bluest", which will be the only rap song ever about Deep Blue Sea.

7.) League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: For being an excellent public repudiation of the misconception that comics are "kids' stuff" and that movies are an implicitly more enlightened storytelling medium.

9.) Leonard Nimoy's "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins": For teaching that even the most dignified of us have off days.

10.) Jar-Jar Binks: For teaching us that children are smarter than we give them credit for.

11.) Tsaheylu: For making you thankful you didn't have to marry the first person you ever slept with.

12.) The Last Airbender's race-bending controversy: For being the M. Night Shyamalan controversy we're worried about, rather than any plans to make The Happening 2.
